Wildcat Fire is the 3rd-largest wildfire this season in Arizona, burning 33 miles north of Apache Junction.
Latest update
The Wildcat Fire was reported at approximately 9:20 a.m. Saturday morning near Vista Verde north of Dynamite Blvd and 136th Street, west of Bartlett Lake on the Cave Creek Ranger District.
Due to favorable weather conditions and effective interagency suppression response, the wildfire is now smoldering within the existing perimeter and holding at 14,402 acres.
Bartlett Dam Road and Horseshoe Dam Road were reopened Thursday, May 23 at 4 p.m. Please stay alert and watch for firefighters and equipment in the area.
Remember, drones and firefighting aircraft are a dangerous mix and could lead to accidents or slow down wildfire suppression operations. If you fly, we can’t.
